Sean, >> The demo animations were REALLY jerky and badly designed for being just simple fly-throughs. I'de love to put together some demo images for them! << I agree – with those situations it's hard to tell if the problem is in the program or with the poor camera animation. I look forward to users getting their hands on this promising program. People like yourself with an artists eye could do some great work with it. >> we also saw clips of the video playing over at the Softfromage booth. What gives Foster?! << I can say with a great deal of certainty that NO Softimage was used in the Herbie Hancock video. Almost every company seemed to be claiming a part of it – and we did use quite a lot of software, but no Softimage. 3ds was used to model the dancing biped and exported to Kinemation for animation, then rendered in Renderman (probably). 3ds was used to model, animate, and render: the scorpion, the centipede, the sphincter plant, the lamprey plant, and the underwater type plant. Quite a lot in other words. Martin Martin
